I bet there's some correlation there. After all, if you're religious you're a lot more likely to believe things told to you by a supposed authority figure. Still, correlation does not equal causation.

I’m anti-AI but I’m no doomer. I think AI is far more dangerous as a tool for algorithmic manipulation of the public than it is some kind of Skynet BS.
My religion doesn't allow for me to have other gods - taking AI as a god here. I can accept what my God says without verification - but my God rarely speaks directly. There are a lot of people who say things in the name of my God, but they are not actually speaking for my God, they are just trying to scam people - they will get their reward in hell, but for now they get a lot of money from the scam.
He really said "I find your lack of faith disturbing" huh?
Alright. To the alps, Rocky Mountains, Andens, and Himalya or somewhere in the balcan! We need to find the ring!! And put it into krakatowa. Destroy the evil we must!
What an absolute fucking idiot.
Yeah, people with an over-abundance of critical thinking skills (e.g. non-religious) would have a bit of healthy skepticism on the random text generators being outed as intelligent.
ai doomerism is the belief that they are not only intelligent, but also evil. the lesswrong crowd.
It's because the AI surveillance's main target audience is ultra-religious dictators and their simps.
This guy is a fucking idiot. Where do they find these people?
They are all graduates of "Less Wrong".
Look up TESCREAL and dig into the rabbit warren of stupidity and arrogance. It's actually kind of amazing.
Isn't ‘Less Wrong’ atheistic, though.
It's ... complicated.
They believe in God. They just call it "AI" and live in fear of it.
TESCREAL in general is a bundle of neuroses and contradictions balled up together into a toxic little mess.
Fuckin' Iteration X fucks...
Are these guys serious, or just full "there is no truth"?
Ironically, he sounds like an AI, sputting out what lever generative thought comes into his head.
yeah not a fan of the most nefarious company currently in existence stating we all need to find religion.
I've found religion.
The Butlerian Jihad.
"I think the secularists in Silicon Valley are filling the God-shaped hole in their heart with AGI," Palantir Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar said in an interview with the New York Times's Ross Douthat. "It's like, OK, the models get better. Why do you think that this cliff is going to happen where they somehow turn us into house cats?"
What the fuck is he even saying? Is he saying secularists are embracing AGI or are they afraid of it?
He also said that doomerism is a "fundraising shtick" where companies on the front lines of AI development "can say 'my technology is so powerful, it's going to lead to mass unemployment, so you better invest in me or you're going to be poor.'"
This is nonsensical. The mass unemployment predictions are really aimed at the AI company customers who think they would get richer with fewer employees. The potentially unemployed don’t have significant money to invest in these scams.
Where do they finds these people? But, also, fuck Business Insider and its shitty reporting.
The first sounds like kirkagard and Sarte. People have deep unfilled need. Both can be summarize as "it as a god shaped whole".
Now people that thibk agi well be here soon and alter the world are treating it kind of like a god. Agi gives you meaning in life, gices you answer, etc etc.
The rest sound like mush brain
What the fuck is he even saying?
Translation from TESCREAL to English: "I love huffing my own farts so much I stuck my head up my ass. Breathing an atmosphere of mostly methane hasn't impacted my reasoning ability in the slightest. Let me ask my LLM what 2 + 2 is. 5. See? No problemo!"
I'm going in, hold me beer.
He's saying the atheists are worried that AGI will come about and destroy us, the world, whatever. Religious people aren't worried because they already believe in God and know AGI won't replace him.
Was I close?
Close except:
Religious people aren't worried because they already believe in God and know ~~AGI won't replace him.~~ everything will be destroyed anyway with the rise of the antichrist.
Fucked if I know. I really think these tech bros are mental.
sounds like the CTO doesn't understand his technology or his target consumers.
pretty on-point for a CTO these days imho.
dude is just talking out his ass or had his LLM daddy write his script to increase stock prices.
What a weird thing to say
They’re following the conservative playbook. If your ideas are shitty, equate opposition to them with opposition to religion (or patriotism).
The added benefit is to set up their text generators as oracles and the arbiters of religious doctrine. I think I they actually want to control people with these things.
So?
His Boss is GAY! That's a SIN Worthy of MURDER According to the People he's Talking to!
Looks like we got a volunteer for crucifixion
